We visit Clarens 4-5 times a year and this was our first stay at Il Castello. We had a wonderful time, the staff were highly professional, the food was great, and the atmosphere and views were just magical! They were willing and accommodated us with our 2-year-old daughter.

What a surprise, we arrived are a long drive and could not believe the perfection of both the hotel and its location. We would have expected to pay 5-10 times what we did for the same type of hotel in the UK. The lady on reception who in our minds resembled a young Whoopie Goldberg liked to check that our stay was as perfect as possible. Dinner in the restaurant was fantastic with good quality reasonably priced wine, as was breakfast – but without the wine.

Fantastic value for money boutique hotel. Surprisingly affordable for the quality of service and furnishing in the rooms. We stayed in the Nicholai room and views were incredible. Their restaurant was one of our best dining experiences in Clarens thus far. Will definitely book again.

I treated my wife to a trip to Clarence for her birthday and wanted something a little more special than our normal stay at the Protea in Clarence. I had booked a room for our teenagers and another for my wife and myself. I was pleasantly surprised at the way the staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable. They were friendly, helpful and attentive. And even surprised us with balloons, a card and a rose on the pillow as they turned down the beds. The accommodation was neat and everything was exactly as I had hoped.
Always a blissful treat

Our stay was such a memorable experience. I do not visit Clarens without booking my stay at Castello. Always only a treat and a pleasure. We enjoyed every moment. Not one thing that bothered me. Top rated in my books of many places in South Africa.

We were guests at II Castello from 19th October to 22nd October 2023. On behalf of my husband and I, we have much pleasure in sending you this note of appreciation for your amazing boutique hotel, your staff needs to be commended on their service, we were completely impressed with their customer service from the dining room staff, to your receptionist, the room cleaning lady. Your boutique hotel absolutely beautiful, and comfortable. The food quality exceeded our expectations every time, good menu. We would have no hesitations in recommending your boutique hotel to any of our siblings and friends. We will surely come back for a short break in the near future. Thank you, keep up this level of hospitality. Best regards. Yours sincerely - Mr & Mrs Nicholls
